Empty water tank about 40 gallons of fuel (so was down about 60 gallons) All items in coach except food in fridge, clothing and fresh water.
Front Axe 8880
Rear Axle 14360
Total Weight 23240#
LF 4420
RF 4460
LR 6800
RR 7560
Front Axle Rating 10,000#
Rear Axle Rating 19200#
GVWR 25999#
When I fill the water tank with 75 gallons of water it puts most of the weight on the LR tire so this well help even the rear weight out.
So without water and food I am under my GVWR by 2759# When I add water at 8.3# per gallon I'll be at 2137# capacity left. I guess I can take a case or 2 of beer without worrying about being overweight.
We almost always travel with a full fresh tank of water as we make quick overnight stops when we are heading for a destination so we dry camp. Even if we stay in a campground for a night about the only thing I hook up is the electric unless I need to dump and fill the fresh tank.
